Our Academy

Like many modern grappling academies around the world, we've left behind the outdated customs and teaching methods that hold students back.


Here's what you can expect from our academy vs other martial arts academies:

Our Academy

  • Focusses on creating outcomes through live training with resistance
  • Provides coaching specific to the class's needs
  • Ensures you retain the skills you gained during class
  • Fosters a fun, focussed, encouraging atmosphere
  • Supports athletic development through cross-training

    • Other Academies

  • Spend most of the of class doing warm-ups & drills that don't translate to effective skills
  • Show arbitrary techniques
  • Use teaching methods that don't promote retention
  • Enforce social customs that hinder learning and growth
  • Discourage/ban cross-training

    • Don't take our word for it. Come try a class and see for yourself!
